Nova Linea Contemporary Dance is Wisconsin’s premier contemporary dance company. Known for their emotionally-provocative performances, it is Nova Linea’s mission to provide accessible and relatable stories through dance to the communities it performs for. Through a physically expressive movement style, Nova Linea aims to guide audiences through compelling stories, themes, and emotions, provoking thought and reflection.
In this evening of dance, Nova Linea will present some wounds never heal. Choreographed by Artistic Director Jared Baker, this piece delves into the emotional landscape of loss. Exploring the depth of human emotion, some wounds never heal examines how grief shapes and changes us, posing profound questions: How do we pic ourselves back up and continue moving forward? How do these life-altering events leave their mark on us, both physically and emotionally? This piece not only reflects personal pain, but also emphasizes the importance of community, compassion, and empathy in the healing process. It highlights how shared experiences of loss can forge deeper connections between individuals, fostering a collective resilience. This moving performance invites the audience to engage with their own experiences of grief and to find solace in the understanding and support of others.

Plan to dust off your boots (or slip on your favorite dancing shoes) and come to the Hoosick Armory on Valentine’s Day, February 14 for “Hearts & Heels,” a country dance and dinner experience.
Spend the evening dancing to the music of the popular River Country band. Those so inclined can practice country line dancing steps under the instruction of Susan Czechel, a Londonderry-based dance and fitness instructor, or with on-on-one guidance from our own Pat Shaw and friends.
Of course dinner will be served. And we hope you’ll visit the cash bar. “Hearts and Heels” is the Armory’s premier 2026 annual fundraiser.
Tickets are $25/person, available from Armory board members and on-line. More information is available at www.hoosickarmory.org or on Facebook and Instagram.
